(9 years ago)Scientists have created a plasma ring in the middle of the air the equivalent of catching lightning in a bottle, using only high - pressure water current and a crystal plate, reaching what was once thought impossible. Plasma is one of the four most common groups of matter in [...]
Plasma is one of the four most common groups of matter on earth and consists of ionized gas.
Lightning is a form of plasma, as is the weather phenomenon of St. Elmo's fire, when light balls appear in vortices during storms. Fluorese lamps and neon lights contain other forms of plasma, reports “RT” Transmission Periscope.

Plasma usually does not have a definite shape, such as fork - shaped lightning, following the path of minimal resistance through the air. Man - made platforms are made only in vacuum rooms or in electromagnetic fields.
Morteza Gharib, professor of Aeronautics and Bioinspiration Engineering in Caltech, said she and her team were surprised to create a stable plasma ring. Some colleagues told us this was not possible,” said Francisco Pereira from the Marine Technology Research Institute. But we can create a stable ring and keep it as long as we want, no vacuum or magnetic field or something else”.
Scientists used hydroelectricity and a crystal plate to form the plasma ring. The water flow was thinr than human hair and poured out of an throat that struck the crystal plate at about 1,000 feet per second (304.8 meters per second).
When the water hit the crystal, the water created a flow of ions positively loaded on the area heavily loaded negatively.
This creates a superbellectic <x0) effect” when an electric charge rises because of friction with another material. This causes a flow of electrons into the water's surface, which then ions atoms and molecules into gas near the water, creating a circuit of plasma. As long as the water flows remain constant, the ring will retain its shape.
Surprisingly, researchers found that their phones received high levels of radio frequency when they were in the same room of the experiment, which revealed that the plasma ring was broadcasting radio frequencies. “This has never been seen before,” He said Pereira.
Team findings are further detailed in the National Academy of Sciences processes. /Periscopi/
